PUBLISHERS' NOTICE. 



The School Readers, of which this little book is the second 
number, have been prepared with much care and are specially 
adapted to the wants of our Southern Schools. They take the 
pupil at the threshold of his reading course and lead him 
ually, step by step, along the way, making every thing plain 
before him, until he becomes a well instructed and accomplished 
reader. 

The author has patiently, zealously, laboriously, with a noble 
spirit of devotion and a rare appreciation of its requirements, 
brought her task nearly to completion. In addition to the best 
works in our own language, Bhe has had at command a choice 
library of juvenile books in French and Gcrmau, of which she 
has made good use. The translations to be found in this series 
are among the most attractive features of the Readers. 

"We are happy to be the medium of introducing, these books 
to the public and we regret that the restrictions of the blockade 
and the innumerable difficulties of publication in these times, 
forbid their appearance in a style equal to their merit, We pre- 
fer to publishthem without pictorial embelishments other than a 
simple frontispice : first, because the expense would so greatly 
enhance the cost of the books as to place them beyond the reach 
of the general public ; and secondly, because it would be exceed- 
ingly difficult now to procure illustrations worthy of the name. 
When the war is over it will be easy to obtain suitable cute in 
.stereotype plates from abroad when a new edition will be pub- 
lished supplying all present omissions.'

PREFACE 



From the ease with which children in theirm

are never so flexible ai From ii

book, <an ti Method of 

■ bieh lias driven it away to more advanced i 
■>ls, while younger children are allowed to a 
habits of pronunciation, Which they are expected at some future 
period to cm learn. * 

Although the Second Reader contains many lessons in elocu- 
tion, THUKfi words only iii the book, wijl he found of more 
than two syllables. No monosyllable will be found of more 
than s< , and the long I m the whole h 

the word " Christmas. J' 

These facts will show with ■ the d fficull 

reading have beea graduated, ft is hoped that in tli' 
system of pr will be found uninterrupted, fn i 

birst Reader to the last. This obje is kept stead- 

ily in view by the compiler. 

' There is much repetition in the elementary exerch

incorporation of the troublesome element into a word. .-.. 
the word into a short sentence, though if may not look so 1 
will do the work of instruction qui 
more agreeably*" 

It will be conceded that if it is important to read a la- 
well, it is of still more importance to speak it correctly. Tiic 
teachers who may use these Readers are «tea to 

correct in the familiar speech of their pupils the i . 
follow. 

■ The use of the personal pronoun "them" fi >r 'he demon. I 
iem things," &c. 

The addition of syllables or letters to w drowndefl," 

"wcrost," "anywheres,*' "s-unowberes," & 

The omission oi' ;i h ;•.;•. ',/,"' and a ! 

of other participial nouns. 

— ~ 



a- - — — ' ■ ■ - — : — ~ 7 n 

The singular verb with a plural noun or pronoun, as: "we 
was," "the. boys was,". &c. 

The objective form of pronoun for the nominative, as : "him 
and me weut,' v &c. 

The use of the objective case after the verb "to be," as : "it 
was me,'' "it was them." 

'Those frightful ellipses, as heard in "tell urn,'' for " tell them" 
and "tell him." 

The pre fix *a where it has no business to be, as: "dioalJcin, 1 ' ' 
"a-talUm?* &c. 

Of the other errors pointed out in the lessons of the book, it is 
unnecessary to speak. 

One general rule however must be attended to : 

Children should be required to utter distinctly what they wish 
to say. By so doing, they will in time acquire purity of artic- 
ulation. 

The lessons in script have been placed at the end of the book, 
that the teacher might select his own time for presenting them 
to his pupils. A. V. C. 

Mobile, May 7th.1SG3. 



PREFACE FOE THE CHILDREN. 



If you wish, my dear children, to read well, you must pro- 
nounce every syllable of y»tir words distinctly, so that every 
one shall hear and understand what you say. 

Be careful to mind your stops. , 

' Do not slight those difficult It's, for whose benefit Ihave writ- 
ten so many lessons. 
Give to each vowel its own sound.. 

1. Say amusement, not wn-nvuse- vaunt. 

2. Say return, not rat-turn. 

3. .Say civil, not eival. 

. 4. Say polite, not put-lite. 

5. Sajt-Wtee, not bloo, &c, &c. 

(The teacher can multiply these examples ad infinitum.) 

6. Ring out the i-n g in do ing, Y\\n-ning, see-ing, look-ing,' 
com ing, <fcc. , &c. 

Above all things, be attentive to the notes winch head the 
lessons in this book. Your teachers will read and explain them 
to you, 

"Observation.— The children who use this Reader, will not 
he able to read this preface for themselves. The teacher is re- 
quested to read it for them.

LESSON 1st. 

Observation. — The words in columns are de- 
signed as lessons in orthoepy. They may be 
spelled or not, at tire pleasure of the teacher; but 
they must bo pronounced over and over until their 
difficulties are mastered. 

Then, and then alone, must the lessons bo read. 

The first exercises in orthoepy have especial 
reference to the 11. Nothing but practice will 
enable our Southern children (so accustomed to 
ignore its existence) to enunciate it without harsh-, 
ness.

PUNCTUATION. 

THE NOTES ARE ALL TO BE READ V,Y THE TEACHER TO THE 
PUPILS. 

Note. — "We must read as we talk ; stopping sometimes long enough 
to count one ; sometimes long em. ugh to count two ; someSim.es long 
enough to count three ; sometimes even lon^enough to eouut four. 

Just as you have learned JrrttT letters so you must nn.w learn the 
names and value of the signs which will teach you how long yo^are to 
stop on your wbids when you read. 

Of these signs of Punctuati-r, four will suffice you for the present. 
They are quite as easy to iearn as your Alphabet.

will count one. 

Second': a semicolon 
will count two. - 

Third: a colon

Observation. — The teacher will now draw 



these sie;ns on the black board, and 



of each 



child in the class to give- their names and value. 

As a reminder to the pupils, the value of the 
first comma, semicolon, &c, that occurs in every 
lesson will be marked by a number above it. 

At the 33rd lesson these reminders will be dis-

Words of five and six letters, and simple words of two syllables will 
now be introduced ; but that the pupils may not find the transition 
difficult, it will be made very gradual. 

The lessens throughout the book have been written with reference to 
all the difficulties presented in the exercises. 

In the little nursery rhymes, a few, very few words will bo found 
more complex than those introduced in the lessens in prose. But words 
'are easily learned when versified, and easily remembered too.

You shall feed the hens, and we will take 

care of the ducks.

Do you see that pond in the yard by the 

old fig-tree ? 4 
That pond is for the ducks to swim in, 

and they like to play in the wa-ter 

ver-y much. 
The hens do not care for the pond, they 

' like to pick in the grass. 
Hens love to eat worms and bugs, and 

ducks like flies. 
Kate says we must not give them an-y 

more corn now. 
See, now that they have done, how the 

ducks run in-to the coop. 
And the cocks and hens will all fly up 

in-to the oak tree. 
And they will hide their heads un-der 

their wings.

The dun cow will give most milk, for she 

has a calf not four weeks old. 
See it run by her side. Kate says that it 

shall be my calf. 
Look at the milk now, how ver-y fast it 

falls in -to the pail. 
Let us go and get some cups, and Kate 

will fill them with milk for us. 
The foam of new mlik is ver-y rich and nice. 
Kate will give us some 5 more if we like ; 

but we do not want it. 
Look at the red cow that has such a 

] cross old face. 
One day she tried to hook the cook ; and 

so Tom tied her long horns for her. 
But the big dun cow is as good and tame 

as a lamb. 
She-will come when Kate calls her, and she 

knows her name as well as Kate does. 
Now we have seen all the cows. What 

a pail of milk Kate has! 
We will get just as much of it as we like 

for our tea. 
And Jtme the cook .will bake some rusks 

for us to eat with it. 
Let us run to Jane, and beg her not to 

for-get to make them. 
Jane says that her rusks hav*e been put 

to bake in the ov-en. 
Let us go and look at them. How nice 

they look," and how sweet they smell ! 

I wish it were time to eat them.

Now that words of two syllables will Infre- 
quently introduced, great attention must be paid 
by our little pupils to the sounds of the unaccent- 
ed vowels. A defective organism, in some persons 
may interfere with the enunciation of the letter It, 
as well as with that of the articulate elements or 
consonants. But no organic defect can hinder the 
utterance of vowels, or vocal dipthongs. The brute 
creation shares with man the power of inarticulate 
vocality. That accomplished vocalist, the cat, in 
her nightly me-a-ou, i-e-a-ou, sweeps through the 
entire range of our vocalic sounds. Perfect purity, 
therefore, of these inarticulate sounds, is attainable 
by every child j a little perseverance is all that is 
necessary to obtain it in every case ; and certainly 
it contributes, in an eminent degree, to harmony 
and elegance of speech.

do not row ver-y fast, and we can

be a ver-y fast boat to bear such a 
name. - 

11. Si\e is* a fast boat. I have seen her

The Swan can swim 'in the wa-ter,

ver-y pret-ty in the wa-ter.

Swans, and some gold and silver fish.

2. T ne P ans look quite nice all in a row- 

on the shelf; and so do the tin pans 
which aunt Sal-ly uses when she 
goes out to milk the cows-. 

3. Aunt. Sal-ly is ver-y bu-sy now for she 

is just go-tug to churn. I would like 
to know how to churn but-ter my-self. 

4. It is quite worth your while to learn. 

Aunt Sal-ly will be glad to show you 
how it is done. 

5. Aunt Sal-ly has made but-ter for us 

ev-er since I was a lit-tle girl ; 'and 
she is proud ofher skill in the dai-ry, 
for her but-ter is ver-y nice. 

6. First you see that she pours her cream 

in to the churn* After that, she 
puts in the dash-er ; and then she 
drops the cov-er, and fas-tens it. 

7. Now she toss-es the cream up and 
^ down in the churn, and she will go 

on to toss it so for half an hour. 

8. This churns the milk, and makes the 
butter rise. Pray aunt Sal-ly, let 
me churn for a lit-tle while, I am 
sure I can do it just as you do. 

9. Well Miss, take the dash-er; but you 

Juust be brisk, and churn fast, or else 
the but-ter will not come.

it off with my dash : er, and put it on 
a wood-en plat-ter.

with it, and roll it up in a ball. 

12. And the last thing 1 do, will be to 

print it and set it in a cool place in 
my dai-ry, urn-til you want it in the 
house for sup-per. 

13. Aunt Sal-ly, now that the put-ter is 

out of the churn, will you give us a 
drink of your but-temmlk 1 

14. Yes Miss, I will. Now you see that 

l have work-ed all I he milk out of 
my but-ter, and it is as yel-low as 
gold. 

15. So it is, both firm and yel-low; and 

see it has the print of a tu-lip on the

16. How I long for a taste of the sweet,

PART FOURTH. 



The words both of the lessons and exercises, will 
now be 'longer and more complex. Words of two 
syllables will abound ; and they will contain more 
letters than those hitherto presented. 

But it will be found noon examination, that the 
same words beinsj again and again repeated, the 
alphabetic difficulties will be no greater (in propor- 
tion) than before. 

Compound words &s "but-ter-fly, but-ter-milk K 
him-se!f," &c, will be almost as familiar to the eye 
in their compound as in their simple form. /They 
will not be considered therefore, as presenting any 
new difficulties to the learner. 

The lessons in Part*Fourth are not strictly pro- 
gressiva. Some are lessons- of revision, and some 
are designed to rest the minds of the little learners 
and to amuse- them.

3. He had a sol-dier cap and jack-et, a 

lit-tle sword and a real gun, which 
his un cle gave him last week. 

4. So Frank's moth-er says that as all 
boys long to han-dle guns, Frank 
shall learn to use his-with skill; and 
ver-y soon his un-cle wiYl take him- 

. to hunt in the woods, where Frank 
will shoot ducks, lairds, and wild 
tur-keys. 

5. But just now, Frank thinks much 
more of play-ing sol-dier than hunt- 
er. He does not know which he 
likes best, his»un or his drum. * 

6. His fath-e^ drills him ev-e-ry nigjbt 

after tea, and he thinks him-self 
quite a man when pa-pa calls out : 
"Or-der arms;" "sup-port arms;" 
. "ground arms" 

7. But Frank must not lose too much 

time in beat-ing his drum, or play-ing 
the sol-dier ; if he does, he will nev- 
er knew his les-sons. 

8. It is far better for lir-tle boys to 

lea/n to read and write, and make 
sums, than to beat drums, wear sol- 
dier caps and drill. .

1. Now the sweet springtime has come. 

a-gain, we will walk out up-on the

all pa?ts of the town to fly their 
kites. 

2. Ed-gar has a fa-mous kite as tall as 

him-se]f. It is called the J'Fal-con." 
Let us watch Ed-gar and his "Fal- 
con/ 7 to see if she is as fine as her 
name. 

3. Yes, she goes well. She darts up 

in-to the sky like an a/ -row, grnd 
seems as if she were leap-ing for joy, 
" . all a-lone in the clouds that are so 
far a-bove U9. 

4. Now Ed-gar draws her in, and she 

makes a swoop down like a real 
fal-con dart-ing up-on li*is prey. 
5w^-way she goes a-gain flying right 
and left,- and ri-sing fast and faster, 
un-til she is quite out of sight. 

6. Let us noV go and wafch Har-ry's 
kite. She is caHed the ■ 'Lone Star," 
and she has a large sil-ver star on 
one side, and on the o-ther her name. 
Her col-ors are red and blue. .

she sails up high and high-er in the 
air while Har-ry un- winds the cord 
. that holds her. ' See how she. darts, 
from side to side, and how gay and 
bright her long tail looks. 

8. I think if I had a kite with such a 

fine tail, I should call her the <k R 
Bow." But let us fol-low the sports 
of the "Lone Star." 

9. Now she mounts a-gain as if she 

woulcf reach the skies, and she looks 
so small that we can nolong-er see her 
shape, size, or col-or. She looks like 
aht-tle dark speck in the sun-shine. 

10. Bat Har-ry is go-iftg to bring her 

down, He will let her play a-bout 
» in the air, where we can all see how 
pret-ty she is ; and in a ino-ment or 
two, you will see Ed-gar com-ing 
a-long with the "Fal-con." 

11. Now when the -boys have shown off 

their kites to all the oth-erboysonthe 
green, they will take them in gen*4y ; 
wind up the cord, .and carry them 
home to rest un-til the next bright day .

1. What have our lit-tle girls been do-iog 
all the niorn-ing, while their broth- 
ers were fly-ing kites ? 

2. We have been play-ing with our 

dolls ; jump-iog the rope, and run- 
ning up and down the gard-en 
walks, till we are iboth ti?*-ed and 
hun-gry. 

3. Ro-sa's doll came to -take tea with 

mine ; so I went and brought out 
my chi-na tea-set, and my lit-tle sil- 
ver spoons that aunt Ma-ry sent to 
me on my birth-day. 

4. Aunt Sal-ly gave us some cake, some 

bis-cuits, a pitch-er of milk and some 
white su-gar ; and we went to the 
gar-den for o-range leaves to make 
tea.

5. Ro-sa-s doll spill-ed some milk on her 

dress, but 1 wash-ed it out for her. 
When the dolls had tak-en tea, we 
wash-ed and wiped all the tea-things 
and put them a-way. 

6. And what else did you do Ro-sa, af-ter 

that? Af-ter tea, A-my and I put 
on our bon-nets, and went out on 
the grass-plot in front of the hou&e' 
to jump the rope. 

7. When we were tired -of that, we ran 
"down the gar-den as far as the fish- 
pond, to look at the gold and sil-ver 
fish, and the pret-ty green tur-tle 
that seem to be so* hap-py iri the 
wa-ter. 

" ,8. J While we were lopk-ing at the fish 
swim-ing in' the pond, my doll fell 
in the wa-ter- I was so sor-ry that 
I be-gan to *cry ; but A-my went to 
old Tom, who came with his rake, 
and fish-ed her up by the skirt of 
her dress. 
9, Poor doll ! I hope she was not hurt 
Ro-sy ! \ Not much ; but as she is a 
' ciw-ing doll we let her ci*y a-while 
af-ter her cold bath, and then we 
put a night-gown, on her, and sent 
her to be/d. 

10. Why did you send her to bed, Ro-sa, 
if she was not hurt ? Was her dress 
too wet to wear ? 






CHAUDRON'S SECOND READER. 



11. Yes Ma'am, it was ; and it came out 

of the wa-ter full of green moss, aiRl 
^bad-ly torn. But we hung it be-fore 
the fire to dry, and aunt No-ra is 
mend-ing it now for me. When the 
dress is mend-ed, we will take the 
doll out of. the bed. 

12. I am glad to bear that A-my has 

ta-ken good care of the poor doll. I 
hope that she will aKvays be kind 
to those who are in troub-le. 

13. In-deed A-mjMlid all- that she could 

for my*doli ; but still I feel bad-ly 
when I think how she might nev-er 
have come up a-gain, if un-cle Tom 
had not fish-ed her out for me. 

14. And I think Ro-sa, that when you go 

to- feed the sil-ver fish a-gain with 
A-my, you had bet-ter leave your 
fine wax doll in the house. Will you 
come in and take din-ner with us 
now? 

15. I thank you Ma'am ; but my moth-er 

told me to comeback to din-ner, 
and I can not stay. 

1 6. That is right Ro-sa. It is your du-ty 

to -mind your moth-er; but you 
must ask her to let you come to dine 
with us to-mor-row ; and be sure to 
bring the doll, that we may know 
how she feels af-te.r her-duck-insr. •

with-out be-ing hurt. He is al-most 
out of sight now. How I fear to

7. So do I. I would be sor-ry for our 

pret-ty blue bird were he to be shot. 
But we can not stay to see his fate, 
for we must go home. It is too 
warm for a long walk to day.

the trees give us shade from the 
sun's rays; but when we shall have 
left the woods, and have to walk in 
the dusty town, you too/will find it 
warm.

take us to the street in which we 
live. It will be a 1 it-tie lon-ger than 
the o-ther road, but it will be more 
sha-dy.

1. A boy was cnce sent tonvatch a caff 
that was feed-ing on a grass-plot near his 
fath-er's gar-den. The boy sat down in 
the shade, and be-gan to look about him. 

2. Not far a-way, he spied a fine cher- 
ry tree, la-den with ripe cher-ries. v rhe 
cher-ries look-ed so rod and so sweet, 
that the boy's mouth be-gan to wa-terfor 
a taste of them. 

3. So he' left the calf, and dart-ed off 
to the tree, where he seat-ed him-self on 
one of its limbs, and was soon bu-sy pick- 
ing and eat-ing the fruit. , 

4. TJie calf, left to do just what it lik-ed 
best, ran offal-so; it broke in-to the gar- 
den, trod down the beds, and ate as man-y 
tur- nip and cab-bage leaves as it pleas-ed. 

5; When the the boy was tir-ed of eat- 
ing cher-ries, he look-ed at the spot where 
he had left his calf; and see-ing.that it 
had gone, he came down in great haste 
to find out where it was.

a fine time to be sure! Cluite as well 
pleas-ed ehew-ing raw tur-nip leaves, as 
the boy had been, eat-ing' sweet ripe 
cher-ries. 

7. You see then that the boy and tne 
calf .had both been do-ing the ver-y same 
thing; both run-ning off from the place 
where they should have staid. 

3. But the boy did not, stop to think of 
that. He was so an-gry that he ran to 
the poor calf, caught it by its tail, and 
heat it with a great cru-el stick. 

9. His fa-ther who wascom-ing out of 
the house, saw all this. He felt sor-ry to 
see his son in a pas-sion; but he was a 
wise man, as well as kind. So he did not 
beat his boy as the boy had beat-en the 
calf, but he came up to him, and took the 
stick out of his~hand. 

10. He look-ed sad and se/rtons while 
he spoke. "Myson," said he, "who is to 
blame for the harm that has been done to

and know what you do, or is it this dumb

These lessons will be found valuable ; -for many 
children learn to write, and write well, long before 
they are able to decypher their own writing. 

By /being taught to read script before imitating, 
it, children will take a double interest in their 
writing lessons ; and it is obvious that familiarity 
with the shape"" and meaning of the characters, 
will make them less difficult of imitation.' 

It will be seen that these lessons in script are 
but the repetition of other easy lessons in Part 
First. 

It is suggested that they be read at intervals, 
while the children are going through the first four 
partg of the Reader.
